A quick primer on what all of this information is:
Team, W(ins), L(osses), T(ies), and Pct (winning percentage) are all self-explanatory. 
The Conference and Division records are separated into separate columns for Wins/Losses/Ties. This was purely a formatting move designed to help me update the tables more efficiently. 
PF - Points For (points scored by the team for the season)
PA - Points Against (points scored by the team's opponents for the season)
Pythag% - Pythagorean winning percentage - this is based on PF and PA
RoS SOS - Rest of Season Strength of Schedule 


Interesting bits of information:
  • The Patriots have clinched a first round bye
  • The Patriots will secure the AFC's #1 seed if they win out. With a loss they open the door for Oakland to grab it away from them due to a better record against common opponents. 
  • The Raiders must stay out of a tie with the Chiefs as Kansas City beat Oakland twice head-to-head and thus owns the tiebreaker with Oakland. Oakland has clinched a playoff berth.
  • Pittsburgh and Baltimore play this week (on Christmas Day). If Pittsburgh wins they win the AFC North. If Baltimore wins and then beats the Bengals in week 17 (or Pittsburgh loses to the Browns in week 17), the Ravens win the AFC North due to a better divisional record. 
  • Houston wins the AFC South in the event of any possible tie, as they are currently 3-0 against Tennessee and Indianapolis, and are 5-0 in the division.
  • Kansas City clinches a playoff berth with a win or tie.
